Hunter Biden’s Art Dealer Claims that His Work Is Important also the Paintings Are Important in GOP Probes.
House Republicans have shown interest in Hunter Biden’s paintings, but not because they are works of art.
After advertised prices initially varied up to $500,000, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee is interested in finding out who bought the artwork and how much they paid. For a “novice artist,” the chairman referred to the sums as “exorbitant,” and he questioned whether they amounted to lobbying for federal policy.
The White House made it clear that the dealer could set the prices without President Joe Biden knowing, and Georges Berges, New York’s gallery owner, supported Hunter Biden, and said he would be “one the most important artists of this century.” “
As part of a wide-ranging inquiry into Hunter Biden’s business dealings, and bank records, the Republicans are looking into Hunter Biden’s art sales. James Comer, Oversight chairman, asked whether Hunter Biden was selling influence to foreign enemies by using high-value artwork to evade U.S. Sanctions. His work had originally been listed at as high as $500,000, but now his prices range from $55,000 to $225,000 per piece.
The committee requested documents that showed communications with the White House regarding the art and how prices were determined for it.
